One of the rooms that is often used as a place to relieve fatigue and relax after a day of activities is the bathroom. Even though it is small, the bathroom can be transformed into a comfortable and refreshing retreat, especially if you apply an open concept. The atmosphere of the outdoor bathroom reminds me a little of the resorts in Bali, and in this post I want to bring that vibe into the bathroom. Balinese bathroom styles usually carry a natural, open and tropical theme. Themes like this can create a calming and relaxing impression.
At the same time, Balinese bathrooms can also arouse the soul and five senses of each owner. That is why Balinese-style interior design is very popular and often applied. In fact, you can also apply it to the bathroom. The bathroom is often a place for us to reflect on ourselves in one day. No wonder many people design bathrooms with unique designs with various themes that can be a place to relieve fatigue for the owner. Here are some easy tips for building your own dream Balinese bathroom. Let’s see!
Stone Wall
Do you often find villa or resort bathrooms with walls made of stone? This can also be implemented in your bathroom at home. Stone walls can create a natural impression that can refresh the eyes because it looks natural. However, because the color of the stone tends to be dark, make sure your bathroom has sufficient lighting to balance the light composition in your bathroom. This concept is also good to apply to outdoor bathrooms.
Gravel
Another idea that is no less aesthetic is adding small stones or pebbles in the corners of the bathroom to support the natural impression. However, it should be noted not to place the stones on the path where the occupants of the house will often pass by. Usually, gravel is placed in the shower area, especially in the corners. Gravel can also be placed in the sink area, especially on the edge or around the sink.
Plants
The presence of plants, especially tropical plants in large numbers, is one of the characteristics of a Balinese-themed bathroom. You can place large plants on the floor, either in the corners of the bathroom or around the furniture in the bathroom, such as the shower head or bathtub. Smaller plants can be placed on higher surfaces, such as in the sink area or cabinets. You can also play with climbing plants or hanging plants to support the aesthetics of your bathroom.
Wood Elements
Although the bathroom is open, you still need to add privacy to it. Try adding wooden elements to the bathroom, but try not to place them in areas that come into contact with water. You can use wood elements on the entrance or partition walls. These two features tend not to be placed close to water sources so they can be a safe area to play with wood elements. With wood elements, your bathroom can look more diverse in terms of the textures used as decoration.
